Expansion Modules
Expansion modules allow Cisco Nexus 5000 switches to be configured as cost-effective 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switches and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel connectivity. The Cisco
Nexus 5020 switch has two slots that can be used for the following optional expansion modules:
• Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet Cisco Data Center
Ethernet and FCoE ports and four 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports
• Ethernet expansion module with six ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet Cisco Data Center Ethernet and
FCoE
The chassis supports hot swapping of the expansion modules.
Fibre Channel Plus Ethernet Expansion Module
The Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module supports four SFP+ transceiver modules and four 1-,
2-, 4-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers. The Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module is a
field-replaceable unit (FRU).
